Broughton High School band marches in Tournament of Roses parade

For the second time in four years, the Broughton High School band marched in the Tournament of Roses parade.

The band held the coveted final spot in the nearly 6-mile parade held in Pasadena, Calif., on Monday. 

Broughton also marched in the parade in 2008. 

Broughton's band had 15 months to prepare and raise money to cover the nearly $500,000 travel bill to the parade.

To prepare, band members practiced carrying instruments while they marched 6 miles around the school's track. They also worked on perfecting two songs – "Grand Ol' Flag" and "God Bless America."
